It's mind boggling to think gut problems might be causing a lot of these blood disorders

Yes, and I think it is absolutely criminal that the medical profession (mostly) dismiss the link as insignificant. I had one consultant telling me I was clutching at straws and that he would not test for "serum rhubarb" (ie whatever he thought was irrelevant). Fortunately they listen to me a bit more now, but some take the "maybe you don't really have MDS" line, which is about as logical as the old witch trials whereby if you float you are a witch and if you drown you are innocent!
Lbrown, good to hear your diet is helping. I have had several coeliac tests and they all come out negative, but I think I have an issue with Fodmaps (which includes wheat)
